Acoustic Live Magazine said it best stating, “Cole's voice has a sharp, unerring, laser like quality, homing in on those uneasy truths most of us evade.”

Brad is one of twelve New Song finalists, each of which will be performing at the Lincoln Center gathering. An esteemed panel of music industry judges will select a winner from this diverse and talented field on the spot.

JUNE NEWSLETTER

June 2015

Greetings from sunny New York City!

It's been a great last month playing shows and making music. A shout out and thank you to all of my friends in Austin and Kerrville, we had a blast! I once again came away inspired by so many performances, so many smiles and even the rain - thank you for the spirit.

While it's great to be home, I am ready to keep the music and that spirit moving. I'm gassing up the truck (I got a new truck by the way, named Moses, she's beautiful) and I'm ready to hit the open road and play some shows for you all! Speaking of which...

Sweet Home ChicagoDid I really design a job where I get to spend three weeks in Chicago in June? Not a job, it's heaven. I will be at the Old Town Art Fair the afternoons of June 12th and 13th at the corner of North Park and Menomenee in the heart of Old Town. The following weekend I will be at the Gold Coast Art Fair the afternoons of June 20th and 21st. I do these shows with my homies Jeff Libman, Tad Santos, Owen Cooper and some surprise guests - we are better known as Check With Lucy. These are very happy, barefoot days for me, so stop by and get happy. Both of these events are free to the public.

Cole, Nakoa and Treacher Form A Super Trio?What?! Yes, well, kind of. Matt Nakoa, Robinson Treacher and I are joining forces for three (possibly more) shows in late July and early August. Matt and Robinson are certainly two of the strongest performers that I have met on the acoustic circuit and I am thrilled that we will be combining voices to play these shows. It will be fun. It will be soulful. It will be big.

Dinner & SongDinner & Song is my twist on a house concert. This will be a show where I come to you home, take over your kitchen, cook a great meal for you and a limited group of close friends and then play a set in your home. I love this set up, I love to cook - rumor is that I'm pretty good at it. I would love to bring it to your home. If you are interested in booking a Dinner & Song evening or want more details, please email info@bradcolemusic.com.

So the record is almost done! Here is the latest episode of On The Record - my YouTube series on the making of the record. I have received some great feedback from a lot of you about our little vignettes, thank you and keep it coming!

I've learned and grown more from making this record than I have from my last three combined. There will be more news regarding the release coming soon, please stay tuned!
